This is a very dark contents page. This is because the band featured on it, Bring Me The Horizon, play very heavy rock music and scream rather than sing. All of the band members are smiling, which is different to their normal image of straight faces which show no emotion. But that is one of the things that rock music is all about: being different.
The frontman, Oli Sykes, is wearing a sweater that says "Drop Dead" which isn't very bright or cheerful, but ties in with the type of music that his band creates. However, this is contradicted by the smile on his face.
Bring Me The Horizon play very heavy rock music and because of this, although they do have female fans, they are considered to be more of a masculine band. However, Oli Sykes is considered very attractive and he is probably one of the reasons his band is as successful as it is.
Because the picture is very dark, the white text box stands out on the page. There is a little bit of text for each section of the magazine explaining what is featured in that section, but word it so you want to read that section. The text is just a teaser and you have to go to the particular page to find out what's in the section of the magazine.
The language is very informal. The writer is talking to you as if you were a good friend, and they use words and phrases that are used in casual conversation. For example, "there's lots of cool and crazy shit happening this month" and "Result!" and "Fun times!".
The writer would write in a way that the reader would understand and relate to. So because the writer has used informal language, slang and some swearing, it shows that this is the sort of language that their readers would use in their everyday life.
